Hi,
I have the EP45-UD3R Rev. 1.1 board with the F3 BIOS. Plus the Intel E7300 running stock (no O/C) per LSDMEASAP's recommended settings on M.I.T.
Currently I have the Ballistics 2 x 1GB installed and the system is running fine as it should, I think......
Well, I purchased the Corsair Dominator 2GB kit (2 x 1GB) from Zipzoomfly.com and tried to install them in remaining memory slots. With the addition of 2 more GB, nothing appears on the screen, no POST beep either.
This is how I inserted the memory when nothing appeared on the monitor, no beep, no post.
Slot #1 (yellow) -- Crucial Ballistic 1 GB stick
Slot #2 (red) ----- Corsair Dominator 1GB stick
Slot #3 (Yellow) -- Crucial Ballistic 1 GB stick
Slot #4 (red) ----- Corsair Dominator 1GB stick
Then I reversed the order as follows:
Slot #1 (yellow) -- Corsair Dominator 1GB stick
Slot #2 (red) ----- Crucial Ballistic 1 GB stick
Slot #3 (Yellow) -- Corsair Dominator 1GB stick
Slot #4 (red) ----- Crucial Ballistic 1 GB stick
This time, it boots up with a single BEEP and POST followed..... But in the post, it only showed: 1853xxxxxx...... showing only 1.8 GB. What gives?
By the way, I did not touch the DRAM voltage setting. It remained at 2.0 volt despite the Corsair sticks rated at 2.1 volt.
This is pretty much how I left the M.I.T. section, not much tweaking....
What can I do to the M.I.T. section to get all 4 GB memory recognized???
Thank you in advance....
